When my daughter was 3 someone gave me an agents name and number, "because she's so adorable and needs to be on TV".... I was intrigued and so I messaged the agent. They responded with a series of questions and a list of requirements. One of the requirements buried in the middle was that "I must be ok with and allow my child to enter a room with 1 or 2 adults alone - required for closed door auditions". This was a Fxxk NO for me and I couldn't believe any other parent would go ahead with that.
I have a son. My guess is they ask for this because young children behave differently when their parents are around. I would have said fine, but there must be a camera in the room that I can monitor from.
Brett’s mother should be proud; this is the best Mother’s Day present for her, as her grown daughter realizes her mother’s protective nature and is thankful for it.
If she really wanted to protect Brett, then why bring her to the lion's den in the first place? Brett's story doesn't add up. She doesn't even realize that her positions are contradictory.
Guiding and guarding the dreams... of her 10 year old child... who probably doesn't even know how to do simple mathematics. Guess what? Every child "dreams" about being a hollywood star. This is just so wrong on so many levels...
You're an awesome parent!!!! Keep the good job! When I have a kid, I want to do my best to teach them how to protect themselves and be smart in the world outside.
@@qbear1045 She also needs the type of self defense Brett described in the video, if she hasn’t done so already. This type of class was developed by a martial arts instructor whose student, a woman with a black belt, was raped. He realized that an entire different training was needed. A rapist isn’t going to come at you from the front like a black belt opponent would. and will most often have a weapon. He uses the element of surprise.
This is the conversation that NEEDS to be broadcast. The rumours and full stories coming out from people about horrible abuse and full on unspeakable horror is too much to ignore.

@@JesusFriedChrist Broadcast audio-visual (AV) mass media was never OK. Not movies. Not TV. Not TV advertising. Not "music videos." Now movies and TV are graveyards. That's the only good news. Movie attendance peaked back in 1933. Look it up. TV Guide data shows that the most popular hours of TV aired in the 1950's, 60's and early 70's. Our so-called "pop music" was TV music. Now the entire Billboard Top-200 Singles list accounts for less than 5% of American streaming music. It's all dead now. Kaput. Ignored. Not "shared." Never eat or drink any food or beverages advertised "on TV." None. As of 2023, 65% of American never drink "soda pop." Digest the numbers. Numeracy prefigures comprehension.
Absolutely, having great mom is so important. And to add to that, having a great dad is key too. Too bad so many kids aren't growing up in caring, loving, 2-parent homes.
@brainfreeze1925 I grew up not knowing my father. It took decades of waiting for my stepfather to stop drinking for me to develop a relationship with him, and my mom died in a car accident a few years ago. It can be difficult not to get jealous of people who have both parents, but luckily I have wonderful in-laws.
The point about noticing the initial testing moves, and rejecting them, is THE most important part of this conversation. I was an agreeable, partially physically disabled, high functioning autistic child, with inattentive parents. I had to teach myself to see predators coming, after years failing to see them in time. I was in my early teens by the time I had fully developed my 'spidey sense', and could fend off their initial subtle tests. As a result of my desperation to stop being fodder for predators, I got very good as spotting them, I warn parents to watch certain people around their kids. This sort of stuff happens all the time, not just to actors. I understand people who have good natural instincts and never become victims may find it hard to believe, but there are so. many. predators. out there, it's absolutely unreal. Teaching our kids (especially agreeable kids) to spot those initial moves is essential.
What would you say are the most typical / common initial testing moves and predatory behaviour that you’ve experienced? I have a young child and them being exposed to this behaviour is one of my worst fears - particularly given the fact that most predators are known by the family prior.
@@OneshotkoMy guess is to watch out for anyone trying to ingratiate themselves with you. People who try too hard to build trust or who offer friendship too quickly. I'm a big dude in my mid forties so it's not something I have to be overly cautious about, but I do find it creepy when someone I've just met starts telling other people that I'm their friend. I also find it creepy when someone I have known (and been friends with) for years talks about how great of a friend I am and how loyal I am. These words make me cringe as I feel they are directed more at manipulating me than on informing someone else of information that isn't really pertinent to them.
I don't think enough parents teach their kids about predators bcz they don't want to scare them. I'd rather scare them than not reach them! And you also have to watch family members too.
Everyone needs to apologize to Corey Feldman for treating him like a pariah and a crazy person all these years when he was speaking about this in Hollywood. Thank you Brett and Jordan for continuing to talk about this subject. Jordan should definitely invite Corey to speak on his channel.
Who didn't believe Corey Feldman? Was that a thing? In my world he's always been believable, and any of his strange behavior can be traced back to him being abused. I truly think that people don't want to/can't believe that such evil exists on such scales, fairly out in the open. People are, and have always been, fucked up. Look at the brothel signs that were preserved in the eruption at Pompeii. The signs showed pictures of adult women, animals, and children.

My friend has a friend who worked on all the Marvel movies making the sets needed. His blue eyed blond hair daugther was interested so he took her to one of the sets. He never left his daugther alone, not to go to the bathroom, not for five min. All these directors and other kept asking just leave her five min she could be a star. He refused to leave her alone. She never got a part but I think her Dad did the right thing. His daughter was what was important anf her well being. Nothing else.
That’s BS. No one would ever say that. Movie sets are some of the most woke and boring places on the planet. No one is going to get taken down saying stupid S. The jobs are to hard to come by. The productions are also huge. I wouldn’t let my daughter go to the restroom alone either. Standard safety stuff
What does blond hair blue eyes matter…is that suppose to be some kind of premium? So she needed to be protected because of her hair and eye color and any vulnerable person that didn’t have blond hair and blue eyes don’t need to be protected…interesting
Mother and daughter are both observers, and thinkers. That makes them hard to fool. Very good to see someone so young being able to work in depth with Jordon Peterson while so many older individuals have too many illusions to do so.
We don't teach young people to say no but we also don't teach them to trust their instincts and trusting their instincts might be the thing that saves them from a bad situation.
We bring them to a fat man who is a stranger dressed in a red suit who hands out candy while children are put on his lap and share their wish list for 'santa' 🤔 somehow that's magical. It's a lie and grooms kids to trust strangers. Teaches children to take candy from strangers.
Trusting your instincts means doing the deed as soon as desire develops. We know this from societies such as the Trobriand Islanders where no adult tells minors what they can or cannot do.
Shirley Temple Back spoke about this in an interview some time before she died. A head of a studio appeared naked in-front of her. Her mother left her to be interviewed alone. She was five. She laughed at him thinking it was a game, and that probably saved her from physical molestation. This was back in the early 1930s!
She was eight, and he did not "appear naked." He unzipped and exposed himself-- still gross. And good thing she laughed instead of being terror-stricken. Laughter is not a turn-on.
As soon as the first studio was set, is when the casting couch started. That was a holdover from the theater. The behavior of people there used to scandalize our Victorian ancestors. And the Roman's thought actors were no better than prostitutes.
@@earthangel2522 True. Laughter is also an insult. If you scream and run away in fear, it's their purpose and they get off from that. Just laugh like it's silly, maybe a light insult without offending them as they could get angry and assault you physically instead.
This is why children need mature parents watching over their children. Teaching them to be aware of their surroundings, and sensitive to abnormal behavior.
Even here in the Caribbean isles of Trinidad and Tobago, parents use their children for personal gain. Even sexually. Totally ungodly and disgusting. One other reason I haven't had a kid on my own. Fear of someone taking advantage of my own. I have two nieces. And out their monsters live amongst us. Even in daylight. I think about them and pray that the lord will protect them, always. Children are a blessing. How can people be so evil?
I have 2 small children, I couldn't imagine exposing them to this kind of environment for money. Makes me so sad for those kids, how alone and how much pressure they must feel. Let kids be kids.
My niece is 14, she loves “the comments section”. I want to thank Brett and her mom for being someone who’s fearless and can inspire other girls to stand up in the same way.

Brett Cooper is an exceptional young lady. As a dad to two young daughters, I would be proud should they develop the virtues that Brett has, in particular her ability to speak the truth assertively.
@@jayebejer7431 C'mon that comment is getting old. I know that's being said about her but she's really nothing like Ben. Not only is she not like him in general but she doesn't even actually look like him outside of white skin and dark hair color. Mold a picture of both of them up next to each other, take a good look at them and their features.
I think there are a lot of lefty teenagers in this comment section, the immaturity is off the charts. I agree with you though, I have kids her age & she gives me hope that my kids aren't the only ones of their generation that haven't fallen for the indoctrination.
Watching Brett and Jordan together gives hope that there are young adults who don't "know it all" and are interested in learning from those that have gone before them.
I'm 23, a father of three a husband, a structural welder. We are all over. I am meeting more and more couples like my wife and I. Don't feel too down in the dumps, we will raise our kids outside, teach them to respect people. Right and wrong. Keep the chin up!
I had never heard of this young lady until just now. What a lovely person in every way, so intelligent and grounded in morality. And then, I was struck by the awareness that, at seventy - two, I remember that there were quite a few young women of Brett's caliber of intelligence and class when I was young. How far and how hard we've fallen in fifty years. I think if I ever see photos of Brett with tattoos, and the slutty, vacuous non expression so many of them seem to have, I'll cut my throat.
@@bobtaylor170 I've been a regular listener of Brett's program for several months now, hoping that she (and a couple of others) would assist me to understand what our grandchildren will be (or have been) dealing with. Highly recommend her content.
I agree. When I was a young man I met a beautiful girl who I thought was seventeen or eighteen, but turned out to be fourteen. She was tall and fully developed physically. I never saw her again but I read shortly after she was in a car accident where the driver was a guy about my age and he was killed. She and two other girls her age were injured. Drinking was involved. She was trying to grow up to quick.
First the concept "Woman" is directly about sex. Then Adult, child, baby, all these terms are to express the human growing development but you're a woman or a man since you're a baby. So yes a 14 yo is a woman and an adolescent.
She owes so much to her mother for looking out for her and putting her in those amazing self-defence classes. This is such a hard-hitting topic in general. What a fantastic conversation. I look forward to finding the full interview to watch when I have the time.
@@happyswim1836 I agree with you in principle, but I’m not seeing the link between your statement and my comment? My comment specifically referenced exposure to evil as a means of understanding so you can protect yourself from it. Egress is a natural solution, as is avoidance of the situation altogether. Violent conflict is generally speaking an absolute last resort. I’m assuming that was what you were getting at. None of this is meant to be disparaging, merely explanatory of my comment as I’ve thought about yours for a bit now and genuinely didn’t quite get the connection to my original statement.

For a couple of years right after finishing my Masters in piano performance, I tried to get an agent or a manager to represent my composing/songwriting. It was impossible to get one for two reasons: 1) They found out I was Republican and would say no to me as a client, or 2) They said that you could only get into the industry by going to a PARTY and meeting executives. Not sending in your demos and work, no, no! By knowing someone and coming to a party. My mom and I called so many people, and that 2nd response came too frequently- so wee said absolutely no to that perversion, and I decided to pursue music as an independent. Does it take longer to do things on your own? Absolutely! But is it worth to protect yourself from corruption, people silencing your views, and companies trying to basically steal and own all of your music and work? YES!
Self promotion is much more likely to succeed now than in the past. Post your work where people can see it. Go out and talk to members of your local business community who share your values to see if they would be willing to invest in you with advise or sponsorships.

This is done to A) to help build and support my local community and like minded people succeed and, B) to develop multiple investment streams of income & social networks that will help my own business grow.
An old friend of mine had been involved in the production of TV shows for Italian television( public and private) in the 90s. We were discussing the new generation of beautiful (and very young) showgirls when he said this: "Their mothers are the worst: they are all beautiful middle-aged women who have missed the entertainment boat. They bring their daughters to auditions dressed and made up like prostitutes. Do you know what scene you see most often? The girl comes out of the audition with a sad face, says she wasn't accepted and her mother screams at her and gives her a couple of slaps. Among other things, the producers had to agree to take all gay male examiners to avoid "unpleasant situations".
I identify so much with Jordan here. Brett is a lovely young lady and he is tenderly, unlewdly and protectively talking to her. There's this thing called respect. He exudes it. Bravo sir.
Indeed, I've always felt like all young men should be protective & focusing their consciousness on the actual full human being, the heart, spirit, mind of women, and sadly in a society where a lot of young men fall into the wounded masculine category instead of being in the divine masculine energy they're truly lost souls not even wanting to be protective of their wives, girlfriends, sisters, family members, lady friends, let alone all the stranger women. God made all humans in his image & likeness, people have infinite value but far too many men out there see women as more like objects or status symbols instead of the full human beings worthy of selfless respect, love, dignity. When men can't live with integrity & honor they dehumanize not only the women but their very self & core being, they spiritually die & wither, are now blinded in darkness in their hearts not even being able to see & recognize the spirit or soul in every women they engage with. The wounded / broken masculinity turns the young men into predators instead, serving Satan instead of serving God perhaps thinking themselves pridefully to be their own "God" in their pride they became foolish not knowing their pride makes them less than dust in the eyes of God, how they treat all human beings or look at them selfishly instead of selflessly reflects their character & heart. Perhaps they got this way due to unhealed trauma from past women, or a poor relationship with their mother figure, or perhaps never having a healthy & positive masculine male model in their lives in their childhoods, a healthy father figure to see how he engages with & thinks of women. God bless Brett, she's grown into a wonderful young lady.
Love to listen to Dr. Peterson but he kept interrupting. He asked good questions but we never got to hear her full answers. Btw. My son was in the industry and I NEVER left him alone. We had fun but we were very aware. We were warned about the dangers by one of our first directors. My son walked away from acting for education. Just graduated with his masters, so proud of him. His acting did pay for the majority of his college so we are grateful for the experience. My son was the boy in Green Lantern.
Compared to someone who cannot avoid creating run-on sentences out of his thoughts, of course Jordan is a genius. If only eugenics could eliminate your type.
At 16, i also experienced a similar situation to what she described about a married adult making verbal advances to me. I am grateful for having the intuition to tell a trusted authority figure about it and that being handled appropiately to keep me safe.
@claricestarling6510 I had a female teacher try grooming me when I was 17. I am 6'2" blonde with blue eyes. She would pull up a chair and sit beside me in class and rub the inside of my leg. She would also stand behind me and massage my shoulders. She would call my house at night and on weekends. This was not an ugly overweight woman. She was quite attractive. It's not just creepy old men who are doing this. It goes both ways.
The way she lights up when praising her mother. The world needs more mothers like this. How would you like your children to describe you to others? Be the person you want them to see.
Shirley Temple experienced this. I literally just watched an interview with her when she said during her 1st interview at Fox, the lead guy exposed himself to her but was offended and screamed at her to get out when she started cracking up laughing. The same thing happened to her mother because they seperate them as soon as they got there. Power corrupts absolutely so they say.
This is not about power alone. Some people are wise with power and some only get power, because they have to serve something dark up in return. Hollyweird is a demonic pimpin industry and now so many things people have said for decades (and have been called crazy for it) come to light. This is a spiritual war. People dont become perverts when they get power, they are perverts and seek power. Jaguar Wright and Katt Williams know what they are talking about, no matter how "crazy" they sound to people. The most disguting man in the industry is Clivre Davis btw.
Posted this in another related comment, but doing so here again: The ending to this story was wild, she walked out of the studio with her mom in silence and they didn't say a word for several minutes while they drove away, and Shirley finally turns to her and goes "Mom, you won't believe what just happened to me." And her mom replies back tersely, "Well you won't believe what just happened to me either." Hollywood has been fucked from day one.
I saw an interview with Elijah Wood once where he said that as a child actor he was very annoyed by his mom always being on set, not allowing him to go to parties or have unsupervised visits with people, etc. Then, as an adult, he understood how incredibly fortunate he was to have such a protective mother. Many of his peers were not so lucky.
@@freeri87What leads you to think that? He certainly isn't pro-establishment, and he isn't transgressive in all dimensions he could be, but I'd like to know your opinion why he isn't anti-establishment.
Indeed. A sitcom called Friends runs late at night in my area. It's mild by the standards of Hollywood, but there is plenty of icky, questionable, outright unethical stuff that is not called such. And then there is Sex and the City which is even worse. I recently watched a video on YT about a woman who moved to NYC thinking her reality would be like that show. I don't see how people can make life decisions based on TV shows and movies, they are all pretend. And even were it not much about SatC is not a good way to live, one doesn't have to deal with "social diseases" in a sitcom or unwanted pregnancies out of wedlock because it's all pretend. The real world has real consequences.
There's that part of The Godfather where the mom pimps her daughter out to the studio exec. Personally, I think Hollywood was always sadistic. While not nearly as serious as molestation of kids, but a friend of mine's mom has connections in Hollywood and he was able to get jobs doing set construction. He just looked at it as a job so he did alright, but there are some of the people in that who wish to be actors and who naively believe they'll be "discovered" doing that since they are working on projects with A list actors, but the A list actors never notice the people in set construction so those who think that way just wind up frustrated and jaded.
Her insights into self-defense are very sage and practical. Many martial arts classes teach a tournament-oriented style, not a how-to-enforce-your-boundaries or a escape/disable-your-opponent style.
More evidence of why I like to listen to Brett Cooper. My parents did not allow me to experience Hollywood in the 1960s, and I am probably a more undamaged man because of it. I feel very bad for girls like Jeanette McCurdy. It is good that Brett and Jeanette are speaking out.
She still views the world through the feminist lens that everyone does if you went through public school, culture, TV, movies etc. Jeanette McCurdy, who Brett referenced as a girl with incredible resilience through a tough upbringing, is out free despite planning her mothers murder. Her online boyfriend wanted to "rescue" her, which involves disposing of her mother. He did it, and is rotting away in jail. His whole story doesn't matter to anyone, because he's a man. So obviously it's his fault and she was just a poor thing.

Perfect insight on the dichotomy of Hollywood and the young actress in how predators capitalize on young children being around, and thinking, like an adult. This mother, and her, are a true testament into how sick Hollywood is and the preventive measures that must be upheld by anyone protecting their young child's career as a rising star in Hollywood.
People-pleasers are living a phony life just the same, and they're perfectly happy to turn the tables when the opportunity presents, becoming just as bad as their supposed oppressors. Their real problem is that they reject out-of-hand the concept of the higher power of God.
No. I was a people pleaser. I knew I would be taken advantage of. That was the only way I knew to relate to people, so I didn't expect to be treated any better. At 50 I began to assert myself. At 8I am now free.

Anyone who’s an actor can attest that the film industry has no more morals than the adult film industry. Personally, I despise having to admit something is “systemic” but if you’re an actor going out for auditions, you’ve seen how easy it is for those above you to just utterly dehumanize you. Translate how they’re willing to treat full grown adults who are desperate to make it into how easy it would be for the sickos to take advantage of children and you realize literally none of this is hard to believe. It’s very easy to believe this stuff is widespread.
it is absolutely sickening what they do to children. everything from the actual illegal stuff to just pressuring and harassing them for speaking up for something as simple as they want to be paid more. im 24 and i grew up watching nick and Disney shows. after the dan schneider stuff was surfacing on youtube back in 2017-18, i for the most part have boycotted tv and movies.
@@Mobius118 Allow me to rephrase. _Ahem._ Due to the type of industry it is, it is supposedly safer to work within the adult film industry than it is to work in the regular film industry. Purely because they constantly check in with talents, behind-the-scenes personnel, and management to see if they're okay, how they're feeling, how healthy they are, zero tolerance for abusive behaviours, etc.. Whereas children's TV and regular film industry is more of a _"everything's automatically safe so we don't have to bother checking anything, we'll just blindly trust the people in charge"_ type of attitude. An attitude which obviously leads to many problems.
@@British_RogueI agree. It’s also never been easier in the adult industry to avoid predation now with it being a free market. Lots of people still make wrong choices that put them at risk of harm though. That will likely never change
I was a child actor from the time I was 3 to 14. I was a successful working actor. I worked just about every day. I always thought when I turned 18 I would have some money saved up to buy a car or something. I had zero. My mom says since I worked for a union for 10 years I have retirement. Excuse me if I don’t trust anything she says. It really fuks with my head trying to figure out how to think and feel about it all. Of course I love my parents but I’m stuck in this feeling of needing to be “the bigger person” and never bring it up or ask questions. Don’t do this to your kids people. Talk about messing with someone’s head! I’m 43 now and I still wrestle with how to feel about it.
Brett is so lucky to have an emotionally mature mother. Mine was the exact opposite of that, she expected me to be super successful and used to make me sign up for a lot of extracurriculars when I was younger. She was insecure and she tried to live life through me, that’s why she was so controlling and a “perfectionist” when it came to my academic career. My feelings did not matter to her at all, she was cold, demanding and mean. I was afraid of saying no to her bc she would throw a tantrum and play the victim afterwards. I used to live for her, not for myself. During college I had a breakdown and she blamed me and said horrible things. Which wasn’t really new for me tbh, I was used to her insults by then. But still, that day I made up my mind: I wasn’t going to tolerate more abuse from her. I’ve gone no-contact with her and my simp of a father. I’m happier than ever.
Remember though forgiveness and understanding. They carry their traumas too. They didn't starve you , they tried to make you something they couldn't be. No matter what they love you but didn't communicate this. They demanded the impossible and stressed you out but I know they miss you.
Your story sounds like the book she referenced in the interview. I'm glad my mother died. Forgiveness is the gift you give yourself. You do not owe your abuser a relationship.
@@Fufino77 "They didn't starve you." That's the bar your holding for parenting? Who cares if they miss her. They don't deserve her unless she says she is willing and able to be in their life.

I know too many ungrateful children who abandon their parents because they thought their parents didn't meet their emotional needs but are happy to get their inheritance. That book is great btw. And noone is a perfect parent or child. Forgiveness for those who has harsher parents than we had. Please don't reply and instead go call your parents. Goodbye
@rondaburton2480 You keep being victims hating your parents and children. Etc. keep going on this destructive American way and see where we are in 20 years.

I will now put each one of you victims on ignore. Don't bother replying because I am busy with my community. Lots of love.
This is a great story about a mother and daughter on Mother's Day. I'm grateful she had someone so protective of her while she was most vulnerable. She turned out great.
I ran away to Hollywood, California at 14 with an adult who gr00med me. It was a horrifying experience and what I saw in just the 6 weeks I was there and the “invitations” I received were eye opening. Few children can make it out unscathed. 💔
As a kid I loved acting and did dance and choir, and at one point when I was 10 I was able to convince my mom to take me a casting call. It turned out to be a scam to get kids to sign up for acting classes, but I remember the relief my mom expressed to me when she said we couldn’t afford to do the classes. I was heartbroken of course, and didn’t understand. But looking back, I realize she did not want me in that industry and I’m glad she had the awareness, in case it did turn out to be legitimate. I know she would have protected me like Brett’s mom.
Oh my GOODNESS am I ever excited to see this! Brett is the role model I needed as young conservative woman. I am so thankful that young women growing up now have her, and I’m so thankful she had quality time with Dr. Peterson. Also I absolutely cannot wait for Snow White and The Pendragon Cycle. It’s the kind of story telling that my heart is so hungry for.
11:20 Brett touched on the point of self-defense classes. They are for physician self-defense, but more so for building confidence without physical confrontation. Having the courage and fortitude to step away and say 'That's weird, don't do that.' is the purpose of the confidence building in learning to fight.
@@mimishkaz Just realized SC kicked my butt and reworded physical to physician. Dear SC it's never 'Duck.' 🤣 I used to teach self-defense classes for women and the disabled under Robinson. It's amazing how far a little self-confidence will take someone in every avenue of life.

Jordan Peterson, my husband and I often say you are our favorite person and have listened to you in many interviews, exchanges, podcasts on many different topics, we LOVE you, your mind is fascinating, deep, caring and so deeply knowledgeable, common sense and you stand up for what is right, Godly, you go against the flow, your intelligence supercedes most in this wicked compromising world. And.... We pray for you on all fronts. Thank you. You are a gift to the world.🙌🙏
The role model her mother was in that firm "no" that says "and not one peep out of you after this" is like a foundation. Her classes helped her get past "freezing" when compromised. Awesome little video here.
As much as Psychologists/Therapists are praised as healers, Dr.Peterson does a great job of showing how direct and bold a psychologist SHOULD be. Leaning into those uncomfortable questions and raising opportunities for accountability even in circumstances where it would be considered socially taboo to even imply one can be held to account (e.g a child creating boundaries and passing "testy" behaviors). Brilliant. Again, pretty uncomfortable stuff, but that's where the growth and expansion happens. And it seems to me like he's always willing to go there.
Perhaps this is a consequence of his conversations being publicly available and being with people who are there to have an interesting conversation. I would imagine him to be significantly less direct and bold in 1-on-1 personal scenarios with clients.
Yeah it's pretty important to teach children social etiquette. It's not only important on how you should be conducting yourself and treat others, it also sets a mental guideline/barrier on what's appropriate when others interact with you and helps a little with noticing subtle inappropriate behaviours. Luke 6:31 came to mind, not the same, but in the same train of thought.
The worst part about this is that I'm not surprised. I should be, but somehow I expected it to happen in places like hollywood. It's so rotten to the core that it's no longer a secret that it's so full of depravity.
I'm really surprised that anyone is surprised. It's like go to strip show and get surprised to see naked people. "oh, it's so rotten" - no, it's not rotten, it's how movies are made. Do you complain about meat coming from slaughterhouse?
@@leonidfro8302 I really wouldn't call hollywood as strip show. It is akin to strip show today, that much is true, but in it's essence, it's supposed to be an art workshop. And that's what makes it sad. It have degenerated into something it shouldn't be. An art workshop turned into a strip show.
@@kueapel911 >> it's supposed to be an art workshop But it is! You seems to be under impression that "art" is something produced by christian moralists. It is not and never was. "oh my god, i've got indecent proposal, i'm traumatized for a life". Yea, right.
@@leonidfro8302 art is something we reflect upon. Stories, pictures, the fruit of imagination. Not to be mistaken as depravity of thought. Even religious books are the result of artistic minds telling us stories filtered through generations of excellent scribes and councils. Evil have no right to claim art as their fruit of labor. Remember tolkien's quote? Art is creation, not corruption.
This young woman is very articulate, bright and self aware. She’s definitely one that should continue bringing more awareness of this industry and societal problem. Good mentor.
Saw Jordan the other day in Charlotte on his current tour. He is exactly like his videos on stage and in person. Crazy seeing him in person after watching his stuff for 6 years.
Went to see him with my ex-girlfriend few years ago, I bursted in tears few times when Jordans points connected. I loved the talk, my then girlfriend on the other hand said "I don't understand why you so impressed he just talks a bit of common sense, I know all he is saying." I was baffled my the arrogance, but I keept it to myself. Years later, I am getting my life in order to start a family, super lucky to have found myself a wonderful wife and friends... My ex is probably still "searching for herself".
Jordan seems like holding himself lately, like he tried to be very careful of what he said. Did he actually go to DEI college (or something) like he was mandated to?
@@sultanofswingdrift3021 Truthfully, a lot of what Jordan Peterson says *IS* common sense. That’s no slight, G.K. Chesterton was “the apostle of common sense.” As they say, common sense isn’t so common.
@@kamalaparkerballs He's been vague about it, and part of his "holding" of himself probably has to do with the fact that the Dailywire is only letting him do interviews, and not lectures like he used to do. The DW has really screwed up itself the past few months, and needs to be disbanded.
I love Jordan. He made it to my wedding yesterday. My sister mentioned him in her maid of honor speech because he’s helped me that much! I figure the only possible or likely chance I have to be on his podcast is if I have the highest viewership of any fan!
The biggest factor in real life self defence is situational awareness. By the time it gets physical you are at a big disadvantage no matter who you are.
@@abstractnonsense3253 The word that is translated as ‘wise’ here is “phronimos” in Koine Greek (from “phren”, ‘the mind’; via “phroneo”, ‘to think’, lit. using the mind). The main connotation is specifically about maintaining an active state of mindfulness/prudence; other English versions render the word as ‘shrewd’, ‘prudent’, ‘smart’, ‘watchful/observant’, ‘clever’, ‘cunning’, ‘wary’, ‘cautious’, or ‘intelligent’.
@@OzPiggy87 right. I repeated that part because it's important. Christians should be benevolent, yes, but not blind. Watchfulness is important as well.
That's why they made a movie called "Dances With Wolves" showing the one who does this as the "good" guy and the one who is against his joining the natives is the "bad" one.

No, no good parent would put their child, boy or girl, in a predators hands and leave it up to the child to say no or defend themselves. Greed is evil. Money is greed. What a wonderful thing to hear on Mother's day. Peace

@@nekemli2622 Because boys enjoy it more and aren't on the receiving end like girls are, I as a 22 year old had fantasies as a kid about sleeping with teachers and adult women and would have loved it, just don't think it would be the same for girls
I was taken in by a family friend when I was 6 months old. I had a younger sister that was my best friend all our lives. She passed away at 32 suddenly. She had three kids, three different dads. One dad stepped up n took his daughter (she’s 18 now) and now her two sons have no one. Both have no idea who their fathers are. Their grandma took care of them until she passed away from a brain tumor last Feb. I don’t know what to do. They’ve lived in horrible conditions, ran the streets of our small town, no discipline, no structure. I wanna help them, but I’m not financially capable to help them. These boys are now 15 and 12. It’s hard out here for people in poverty and uneducated.
Look for mentorship opportunities and any services you can find…if they don’t get it now they will more likely end up repeating the cycle!! Talk to them about goal & how to achieve them… good luck
So they must be in foster care now with you, as their aunt, able to be in contact with them. They'd likely benefit most from being placed with a married couple who've happily and successfully brought up their own children (so seen and handled the whole life cycle from baby to high school/beyond) and where the husband (foster dad) could provide good guidance and some firm behavior limits on them to help train them from running the streets to more normal and positive behavior. And then you could be helpful showing sustained interest in them, like they matter and you care about what becomes of them as well as provide a link to their mom who they must miss terribly. Perhaps you and your husband (if married) could apply to foster them or even adopt them. In the US at least, foster parents are assisted financially in providing for children they foster as the state recognizes there are financial costs to this, and the state often prefers familial fostering and adoptions when feasible. Your local children & family services type agency would be the place to start. Pray before, during, and after too. Condolences on the passing of your sister & ?mom. Best wishes.
Mr Peterson. You are precisely where you deserve to be, which also happens to be where you are needed most. In the ever increasing limelight providing an utterly irreplaceable & kind service to others. Soo refreshing & remarkable to see.
speaking as a former actor that worked in the industry during the 2000 and for almost a decade, i would like to add that its not only magnetism and being captivating or entertaining what puts a lot of these ppl in the bulls eye sort of speaking. i think that it also has a lot to do with an actor’s ability to be vulnerable and open and in acting words “trusting “….. trust the moment, trust the director, trust your scene partner, trust your agent and this whole mentality of “ you are playing in the big leagues aka hollywood so you have to “ BE A PRO” and do the job or else someone else will, so if you start adding all those factors and in particular if the person is a young actor, then you can definitely see how easy is to take advantage of such people and omg the stories and lessons you learn and see and live, like i still cannot believe i went to some backyard alley auditions like the ones i went before and left ok like guuuuuuuuurl….. so yeah … hollywood truly mastered and perfected the path for the peoplr like harvey and roman and a lot the others to be able to do what they do in such an easy way. its so insane
@@ezze7540 have u ever heard of the Hollywood momagers ? They are a breed of their own , usually is a parent who is trying to live their dreams through their child and some ( not all, there’s a lot of good parents out there but the momagers do exist ) will do pretty much anything to get their kids and their dreams and bank accounts all the way up
Nah I don't agree entirely with that one. The guy spoke to a "23 year old" on a dating app and agreed to a meet up with a 23 year old. Upon meeting her she announce to him that she was 15. He didn't immediately leave, but he broke no law. What I find disturbing is that her father basically pimped his own 15 year old daughter on a dating app as a 23 year old, to "Shake down" respondents for a "pedo trap" video. A 15 year old should be doing her homework, not being used as bait for a "pedo trap show" run by her dad. When police do sting operations the underage child is a fabricated persona played by an adult.
I think if a parent teaches their kids that they don’t matter by emotionally neglecting them, then the kids will grow up having a difficult time standing up for themselves. It has to do with if they think they matter or don’t. If you resonate that you don’t matter because your parents taught you that your whole life, you are viewed as a “people pleaser” and can easily be exploited by narcissists.
You said that So Well- and in only 3 sentences, one of which, though only 12 words long, said it all! This really rang true for my life and gave me something to really contemplate for the next few days, if not weeks or months, Thank you!
Thank you! I read a book “Running on Empty” that really explains childhood emotional neglect (CEN) well. CEN basically teaches you that you don’t matter, so it’s held as a core subconscious belief, until you consciously override your schema by telling yourself that you do matter and believing it! 😊 That’s the biggest step to overcoming CEN. CEN can be more psychologically damaging than emotional abuse, because it happens under the radar, so you subconsciously blame yourself. With abuse, at least you know the perpetrator is in the wrong. And I’ll add that with CEN, you are also more likely to be abused too.
Very interesting, very important. Only thing that annoyed me was that he often didn't let her finish her thoughts or get out her message. Otherwise, super relevant and great that they bring it up!
I was a PA on TV shows with children. One show in particular, The New Leave it to Beaver, had a minor girl in the cast, and because there were some creeps writing letters to her (one from prison, if I remember), there was an amount of protection for her. Because that this show was shot in Universal Studios Florida for the final season (it had been shot at Universal Studios Hollywood in California prior to that, where I think her family lived), she was given (or else she paid for) an apartment next to the studio - nearby to other minors on the show. I had to shuttle her to the studio sometimes, if one of the designated adult members of the crew wasn't available. (I was in my late 20's at the time.) Anyway the adults on the crew were protective of our minors to the extent that they could be. But every crew is different. I don't recall ever seeing her parents, although they probably came and went. Had I been a parent I would have literally been living in the apartment with her, but of course back then - prior to the internet being able to support remote work - parents could not do this if they needed to keep their full time job. So I can see how particular crews and handlers can take advantage of this.
This has been going on for centuries. The nobility used their children, toddlers through to teenagers, to secure power, wealth, and influence through marriage. The marriage part may have gone, but the exploitation is the same. Some parents treat their children as cattle!
In old times political alliances were done through marriage. Often the princesses were sent to the new country where they would rule while children, to get used to the customs and language before becoming rulers. They were betrothed and married at a later date, very often with many years in between. There was nothing sexual in all that. It has no comparison at all.
YES, but it’s not just Hollywood!! Look at all the predators they catch online trying to meet up with children!! Imagine all the ones that aren’t caught😖😖😖
I've never heard of this woman, but I could listen to these two talk forever. It is incredibly refreshing to hear intelligent conversation. I was hoping this was a full series instead of two videos.
Dang, a sitdown between two of my favorites. 9:45 Brett Cooper talks enthusiastically of self-defense classes. I completely agree with her on their value. I did several years of martial arts when I was a teen. The biggest benefit I found was having your "fight or flight response" come to a default of FIGHT! Predators pick up on that, and predators are looking for prey, not a fight.
You do realize, that self defense classes are a joke right? A girl Brett's size is not going to do shit to a grown 160 200lbs man who is absolutely determined to hurt her. No matter how much trying she has.
Knowing self-defense goes far beyond the physical capabilities - it’s a mindset, it’s walking through the world knowing your boundaries will not be crossed!
@healthyfreesoul I agree people do get murdered all the time, what I'm saying is when you tell someone that self defense will keep you safe in any dangerous situation, is very irresponsible on the trainers part. If a woman or man is going up against another man or woman who is physically stronger than them, or has more experience in fighting. The chances of you surviving is 50/50. Especially if that person has a weapon. Real life is not like the movies, nobody fights like that. In real life people fight dirty and with no mercy.
It's not just child actors. Its child models, singers, or anything to do with children. The most abused likely never became successful in any way and also are likely to have blackouts and repressed memories.
The most abused are the ones that get promoted the most by the industry. Dont sleep on it. Hollyweird is a big demonic pimpin industry and when you serve up, you receive. Look at the Diddy mess..Justing Bieber is who he is cause he sucked D...confirmed. So many people died before their time cause they were sacrificed either because they didnt play along or because their time was up. Fame has a price in Hollywood. Thats nothing crazy...thats real.
One of the tricky things in life is what can we do if we have no power but the people who have power behave badly? Jordan and Brett have the answer : explore the world but be smart and watch out for yourself. Bonus points for sharing the stories publicly 🙂
9:57 This should be acting classes, Hollywood's, agents, etcs, standards that ALL child actors should take self-defense, being aware of signs, any kind of course that will help the kids see abuse from all these adults. They should have to have an advocate of some kind to be able to feel safe and go to tell about them about what they see, feel, and hear that is going on. Brett Cooper was blessed to have her mom there with her. Teaching her morals and what ethics of adults' actions in such systems where children are around adults that they need to please to keep their dream of acting. Thank you, Mr. Peterson and Mrs Brett Cooper.
Any random person could start such an organization. Hollywood doesn't have to be on board. After a while, you'd feel like a bad person if you didn't sign your kids up for it. Of course, then the child predators might become "women's self-defense teachers" so you always have to pay attention.

The synchronicities and parallels regarding my awareness of the subject do not go unnoticed here.

@MaxMax-sj7wb the worst part is when they try and justify it
same goes for other platforms, don't expose them online.
Yeah, I think that in 10-20 years some of those kids will disown their parents because of it.
When my daughter was 3 someone gave me an agents name and number, "because she's so adorable and needs to be on TV".... I was intrigued and so I messaged the agent. They responded with a series of questions and a list of requirements. One of the requirements buried in the middle was that "I must be ok with and allow my child to enter a room with 1 or 2 adults alone - required for closed door auditions". This was a Fxxk NO for me and I couldn't believe any other parent would go ahead with that.
Good for you, I'm also blown away that there are parents who would allow that.
yeah, Fck that! Total perverts, no way would I let that happen
Me two my goodness who would want that for their child 🙈🙉🙊
@@maily2245😅of course they're parents from hell... 😂
I have a son. My guess is they ask for this because young children behave differently when their parents are around. I would have said fine, but there must be a camera in the room that I can monitor from.
Hollywood was also dead quiet on the Sound of Freedom.... Your silence is deafening!!

Elijah Wood's mom was the same way, very vigilant in Hollywood and protected her son.
Brett’s mother should be proud; this is the best Mother’s Day present for her, as her grown daughter realizes her mother’s protective nature and is thankful for it.
Yes, her mom wasn't a "devouring dragon", unless you harmed her child.
Start to finish, you can sense her love for her Mother. ❤️
Look up the ancient origin of mother's day...
If she really wanted to protect Brett, then why bring her to the lion's den in the first place?

Absolutely correct!
And look at the result. Brett Cooper has a good head on her shoulders and is thriving. Good parenting is extremely important. Props to her mom.
The whole story seems fishy honestly.
Guiding and guarding the dreams... of her 10 year old child... who probably doesn't even know how to do simple mathematics. Guess what? Every child "dreams" about being a hollywood star. This is just so wrong on so many levels...
People look at me crazy when I talk about putting my son in self defense courses.. he’s 7. Children should be taught how to defend themselves.
Yes, great job. Even boys -
OH yes and I couldn't agree more 💯 percent!
You're an awesome parent!!!! Keep the good job! When I have a kid, I want to do my best to teach them how to protect themselves and be smart in the world outside.
My 16 year old daughter is a fourth dan black belt - so is her older brother. She breaks patio pavers with her hand.
@@qbear1045 She also needs the type of self defense Brett described in the video, if she hasn’t done so already. This type of class was developed by a martial arts instructor whose student, a woman with a black belt, was raped. He realized that an entire different training was needed. A rapist isn’t going to come at you from the front like a black belt opponent would. and will most often have a weapon. He uses the element of surprise.
She was a parent acting as a parent. Looking out for the best for her child and guarding her from harm. Good on her.

@brainfreeze1925 I grew up not knowing my father. It took decades of waiting for my stepfather to stop drinking for me to develop a relationship with him, and my mom died in a car accident a few years ago. It can be difficult not to get jealous of people who have both parents, but luckily I have wonderful in-laws.
@@brainfreeze1925absolutely true.
The point about noticing the initial testing moves, and rejecting them, is THE most important part of this conversation. I was an agreeable, partially physically disabled, high functioning autistic child, with inattentive parents. I had to teach myself to see predators coming, after years failing to see them in time. I was in my early teens by the time I had fully developed my 'spidey sense', and could fend off their initial subtle tests. As a result of my desperation to stop being fodder for predators, I got very good as spotting them, I warn parents to watch certain people around their kids. This sort of stuff happens all the time, not just to actors. I understand people who have good natural instincts and never become victims may find it hard to believe, but there are so. many. predators. out there, it's absolutely unreal. Teaching our kids (especially agreeable kids) to spot those initial moves is essential.
really excellent comment!
What would you say are the most typical / common initial testing moves and predatory behaviour that you’ve experienced? I have a young child and them being exposed to this behaviour is one of my worst fears - particularly given the fact that most predators are known by the family prior.
@@OneshotkoMy guess is to watch out for anyone trying to ingratiate themselves with you. People who try too hard to build trust or who offer friendship too quickly.
I'm a big dude in my mid forties so it's not something I have to be overly cautious about, but I do find it creepy when someone I've just met starts telling other people that I'm their friend.
I also find it creepy when someone I have known (and been friends with) for years talks about how great of a friend I am and how loyal I am. These words make me cringe as I feel they are directed more at manipulating me than on informing someone else of information that isn't really pertinent to them.
I don't think enough parents teach their kids about predators bcz they don't want to scare them. I'd rather scare them than not reach them! And you also have to watch family members too.
Everyone needs to apologize to Corey Feldman for treating him like a pariah and a crazy person all these years when he was speaking about this in Hollywood. Thank you Brett and Jordan for continuing to talk about this subject. Jordan should definitely invite Corey to speak on his channel.
Who didn't believe Corey Feldman? Was that a thing? In my world he's always been believable, and any of his strange behavior can be traced back to him being abused. I truly think that people don't want to/can't believe that such evil exists on such scales, fairly out in the open. People are, and have always been, fucked up. Look at the brothel signs that were preserved in the eruption at Pompeii. The signs showed pictures of adult women, animals, and children.
Everyone needs to apologize? I don’t think everyone considering a lot of people in general believed him and Corey Haim.
Corey Feldman needs to apologize to me for making that "music".

My friend has a friend who worked on all the Marvel movies making the sets needed. His blue eyed blond hair daugther was interested so he took her to one of the sets. He never left his daugther alone, not to go to the bathroom, not for five min. All these directors and other kept asking just leave her five min she could be a star. He refused to leave her alone. She never got a part but I think her Dad did the right thing. His daughter was what was important anf her well being. Nothing else.

Mother and daughter are both observers, and thinkers. That makes them hard to fool. Very good to see someone so young being able to work in depth with Jordon Peterson while so many older individuals have too many illusions to do so.
We don't teach young people to say no but we also don't teach them to trust their instincts and trusting their instincts might be the thing that saves them from a bad situation.
An entire generation has just been taught to ignore their instincts. That was the takeaway from the last 4 years.

Trusting your instincts means doing the deed as soon as desire develops. We know this from societies such as the Trobriand Islanders where no adult tells minors what they can or cannot do.
Shirley Temple Back spoke about this in an interview some time before she died. A head of a studio appeared naked in-front of her. Her mother left her to be interviewed alone. She was five. She laughed at him thinking it was a game, and that probably saved her from physical molestation. This was back in the early 1930s!
She was eight, and he did not "appear naked." He unzipped and exposed himself-- still gross. And good thing she laughed instead of being terror-stricken. Laughter is not a turn-on.
As soon as the first studio was set, is when the casting couch started.
That was a holdover from the theater. The behavior of people there used to scandalize our Victorian ancestors.
And the Roman's thought actors were no better than prostitutes.

This is why children need mature parents watching over their children. Teaching them to be aware of their surroundings, and sensitive to abnormal behavior.
What if children don't have "mature" parents, just average ones?
@@2flowertwo537 ….. Or below average, like mine. To begin with, my parents should have never cohabited…
Even here in the Caribbean isles of Trinidad and Tobago, parents use their children for personal gain. Even sexually. Totally ungodly and disgusting.
One other reason I haven't had a kid on my own. Fear of someone taking advantage of my own. I have two nieces. And out their monsters live amongst us. Even in daylight. I think about them and pray that the lord will protect them, always.
Children are a blessing. How can people be so evil?
children need parents in general, the parents are children themselves now days. they just want to be the kids friend and not parent.
Pray for the children in Hollywood and in the world
Parents are the ones to plame
To sacrifice the children to try to make themselves great ( meaning the parents) . How Sinful.. makes me sick.
I have 2 small children, I couldn't imagine exposing them to this kind of environment for money. Makes me so sad for those kids, how alone and how much pressure they must feel. Let kids be kids.

I had never heard of this young lady until just now. What a lovely person in every way, so intelligent and grounded in morality. And then, I was struck by the awareness that, at seventy - two, I remember that there were quite a few young women of Brett's caliber of intelligence and class when I was young.

A 14 year old is NOT a woman, ITS A CHILD.
I agree. When I was a young man I met a beautiful girl who I thought was seventeen or eighteen, but turned out to be fourteen. She was tall and fully developed physically. I never saw her again but I read shortly after she was in a car accident where the driver was a guy about my age and he was killed. She and two other girls her age were injured. Drinking was involved. She was trying to grow up to quick.
@@kurtdanielson993 So, she was fully developed and... child? Don't think so, sorry.
First the concept "Woman" is directly about sex. Then Adult, child, baby, all these terms are to express the human growing development but you're a woman or a man since you're a baby. So yes a 14 yo is a woman and an adolescent.
Malignant narcissists see people as objects belonging to their inner fantasy world (introjection)
So I assume you know what a woman is. Congratz! And i mean seriously.
She owes so much to her mother for looking out for her and putting her in those amazing self-defence classes. This is such a hard-hitting topic in general. What a fantastic conversation. I look forward to finding the full interview to watch when I have the time.
As a martial arts instructor it’s good to see the philosophy of “exposure to evil as a means of protecting oneself from evil” worked for her.

@@happyswim1836 I agree with you in principle, but I’m not seeing the link between your statement and my comment? My comment specifically referenced exposure to evil as a means of understanding so you can protect yourself from it. Egress is a natural solution, as is avoidance of the situation altogether. Violent conflict is generally speaking an absolute last resort. I’m assuming that was what you were getting at. None of this is meant to be disparaging, merely explanatory of my comment as I’ve thought about yours for a bit now and genuinely didn’t quite get the connection to my original statement.

Brett has triumphed over such difficult circumstances surrounding her, that I never knew about. And yet she is so intelligent, well spoken and just all around stupid beautiful without even trying to be. Great interview
For a couple of years right after finishing my Masters in piano performance, I tried to get an agent or a manager to represent my composing/songwriting. It was impossible to get one for two reasons: 1) They found out I was Republican and would say no to me as a client, or 2) They said that you could only get into the industry by going to a PARTY and meeting executives. Not sending in your demos and work, no, no! By knowing someone and coming to a party.
My mom and I called so many people, and that 2nd response came too frequently- so wee said absolutely no to that perversion, and I decided to pursue music as an independent. Does it take longer to do things on your own? Absolutely! But is it worth to protect yourself from corruption, people silencing your views, and companies trying to basically steal and own all of your music and work? YES!
Guess what? no-one has heard of you.
Kudos to you! You did the right thing!
Self promotion is much more likely to succeed now than in the past. Post your work where people can see it. Go out and talk to members of your local business community who share your values to see if they would be willing to invest in you with advise or sponsorships. I run a small business, and am actively trying to build a network of other small business owners who will help young, local, Christian & conservative artists and prospective entrepreneurs get off the ground by investing in their ideas & businesses. This is done to A) to help build and support my local community and like minded people succeed and, B) to develop multiple investment streams of income & social networks that will help my own business grow.
Awesome! It might take longer, but it'll be well worth it!

Very appropriate to post on Mother's day -- cheers to Brett's mom and all the other mothers like her!
❤
Such movies as The Blue Lagoon and Taxi Driver, just to name 2 were inappropriate for a child to participate in.
An old friend of mine had been involved in the production of TV shows for Italian television( public and private) in the 90s.
We were discussing the new generation of beautiful (and very young) showgirls when he said this: "Their mothers are the worst: they are all beautiful middle-aged women who have missed the entertainment boat. They bring their daughters to auditions dressed and made up like prostitutes. Do you know what scene you see most often? The girl comes out of the audition with a sad face, says she wasn't accepted and her mother screams at her and gives her a couple of slaps.
Among other things, the producers had to agree to take all gay male examiners to avoid "unpleasant situations".
Sick & sad!
Examiners?
Very sad
I dont know how you could sleep, treating your kids that way.
@@anonmouse956 Judges, evaluators.
I identify so much with Jordan here. Brett is a lovely young lady and he is tenderly, unlewdly and protectively talking to her. There's this thing called respect. He exudes it. Bravo sir.
Indeed, I've always felt like all young men should be protective & focusing their consciousness on the actual full human being, the heart, spirit, mind of women, and sadly in a society where a lot of young men fall into the wounded masculine category instead of being in the divine masculine energy they're truly lost souls not even wanting to be protective of their wives, girlfriends, sisters, family members, lady friends, let alone all the stranger women. God made all humans in his image & likeness, people have infinite value but far too many men out there see women as more like objects or status symbols instead of the full human beings worthy of selfless respect, love, dignity. When men can't live with integrity & honor they dehumanize not only the women but their very self & core being, they spiritually die & wither, are now blinded in darkness in their hearts not even being able to see & recognize the spirit or soul in every women they engage with.
The wounded / broken masculinity turns the young men into predators instead, serving Satan instead of serving God perhaps thinking themselves pridefully to be their own "God" in their pride they became foolish not knowing their pride makes them less than dust in the eyes of God, how they treat all human beings or look at them selfishly instead of selflessly reflects their character & heart. Perhaps they got this way due to unhealed trauma from past women, or a poor relationship with their mother figure, or perhaps never having a healthy & positive masculine male model in their lives in their childhoods, a healthy father figure to see how he engages with & thinks of women.
God bless Brett, she's grown into a wonderful young lady.
he interrupts her too much, he's going to join my list of annoying podcasters which is led by Lex Fridman
Love to listen to Dr. Peterson but he kept interrupting. He asked good questions but we never got to hear her full answers. Btw. My son was in the industry and I NEVER left him alone. We had fun but we were very aware. We were warned about the dangers by one of our first directors. My son walked away from acting for education. Just graduated with his masters, so proud of him. His acting did pay for the majority of his college so we are grateful for the experience. My son was the boy in Green Lantern.
Noticed this too, at least twice Brett was obviously about to tell more of her stories/experiences and he suddenly cuts her off with another question.
Yes, normally he's a great interviewer but in this short clip he cut off several interesting answers I'd have loved to hear. Wonder why he did that 🤔
May have been editing, may have been to save her from having to delve in the more sordid details.
I agree about the interrupting.
@@kokoskoksohe said that he does that because he’s eager to ask an important follow up question he thinks he’ll forget right away

To catch a wolf, you have to think like a wolf, to think like a wolf, you must not act like one tho. Jordan is so smart.
The sheepdog lives to confront the wolf.
"Listen carefully: I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; so be wise as serpents, and innocent as doves." - Matthew 10:16
Compared to someone who cannot avoid creating run-on sentences out of his thoughts, of course Jordan is a genius.
If only eugenics could eliminate your type.
Reminds me of Thomas Sowell’s quote about political parties. He says republicans are wolves and democrats wolves in sheep’s clothing
The symbolism on Jordan's jacket shows you what kind of wolf he is......
"What made her so sensible" Was a great (well deserved) complement to Brett's Mother
At 16, i also experienced a similar situation to what she described about a married adult making verbal advances to me. I am grateful for having the intuition to tell a trusted authority figure about it and that being handled appropiately to keep me safe.
Yes, all young women of 16 should have a 'white knight' to protect them.
What teenager hasnt had to deal with creepy ol farts
@claricestarling6510
I had a female teacher try grooming me when I was 17. I am 6'2" blonde with blue eyes. She would pull up a chair and sit beside me in class and rub the inside of my leg. She would also stand behind me and massage my shoulders. She would call my house at night and on weekends. This was not an ugly overweight woman. She was quite attractive.
It's not just creepy old men who are doing this. It goes both ways.
@@-Ordinary-Average-Guy Womens standards are just higher but if their attracted towards you they can be just as untoward as men.
The way she lights up when praising her mother. The world needs more mothers like this. How would you like your children to describe you to others? Be the person you want them to see.
Shirley Temple experienced this. I literally just watched an interview with her when she said during her 1st interview at Fox, the lead guy exposed himself to her but was offended and screamed at her to get out when she started cracking up laughing. The same thing happened to her mother because they seperate them as soon as they got there.
Power corrupts absolutely so they say.
Oh yeah it definitely goes that far back. Even further, more than likely. The entertainment world has always been teeming with perverts.
This is not about power alone. Some people are wise with power and some only get power, because they have to serve something dark up in return. Hollyweird is a demonic pimpin industry and now so many things people have said for decades (and have been called crazy for it) come to light. This is a spiritual war. People dont become perverts when they get power, they are perverts and seek power. Jaguar Wright and Katt Williams know what they are talking about, no matter how "crazy" they sound to people. The most disguting man in the industry is Clivre Davis btw.
Posted this in another related comment, but doing so here again: The ending to this story was wild, she walked out of the studio with her mom in silence and they didn't say a word for several minutes while they drove away, and Shirley finally turns to her and goes "Mom, you won't believe what just happened to me." And her mom replies back tersely, "Well you won't believe what just happened to me either."
Hollywood has been fucked from day one.
I saw an interview with Elijah Wood once where he said that as a child actor he was very annoyed by his mom always being on set, not allowing him to go to parties or have unsupervised visits with people, etc. Then, as an adult, he understood how incredibly fortunate he was to have such a protective mother. Many of his peers were not so lucky.
Go and watch some of the old Shirley Temple movies…It’s seriously creepy how they have her presenting and interacting with grown men.

A Key Phrase missing in this chat was ''MORAL COMPASS''
Hollywood has never ever heard this one and Never will.
I think the moral compass was implied, but it would be nice to hear if from that sector of the world for sure.
And yet you think politicians from there will ever benefit you 😂😂😂😂😂
Indeed. A sitcom called Friends runs late at night in my area. It's mild by the standards of Hollywood, but there is plenty of icky, questionable, outright unethical stuff that is not called such. And then there is Sex and the City which is even worse. I recently watched a video on YT about a woman who moved to NYC thinking her reality would be like that show. I don't see how people can make life decisions based on TV shows and movies, they are all pretend. And even were it not much about SatC is not a good way to live, one doesn't have to deal with "social diseases" in a sitcom or unwanted pregnancies out of wedlock because it's all pretend. The real world has real consequences.
I was bothered by that movie Lost in Translation. That warped world of Hollywood really shined through in that plot.
There's that part of The Godfather where the mom pimps her daughter out to the studio exec. Personally, I think Hollywood was always sadistic. While not nearly as serious as molestation of kids, but a friend of mine's mom has connections in Hollywood and he was able to get jobs doing set construction. He just looked at it as a job so he did alright, but there are some of the people in that who wish to be actors and who naively believe they'll be "discovered" doing that since they are working on projects with A list actors, but the A list actors never notice the people in set construction so those who think that way just wind up frustrated and jaded.
Her insights into self-defense are very sage and practical. Many martial arts classes teach a tournament-oriented style, not a how-to-enforce-your-boundaries or a escape/disable-your-opponent style.
More evidence of why I like to listen to Brett Cooper. My parents did not allow me to experience Hollywood in the 1960s, and I am probably a more undamaged man because of it. I feel very bad for girls like Jeanette McCurdy. It is good that Brett and Jeanette are speaking out.
She still views the world through the feminist lens that everyone does if you went through public school, culture, TV, movies etc.
Jeanette McCurdy, who Brett referenced as a girl with incredible resilience through a tough upbringing, is out free despite planning her mothers murder.
Her online boyfriend wanted to "rescue" her, which involves disposing of her mother. He did it, and is rotting away in jail. His whole story doesn't matter to anyone, because he's a man. So obviously it's his fault and she was just a poor thing.
Why? Who is she? Obscure actress with zero life experience? "oh, i was 14 and someone looked wrong at me!"
@@leonidfro8302 Well, if you knew more, you would know that there was much more going on there. And, you would also know about the evil that happens to kids in Hollywood.
@@leonidfro8302wow... She and Jeanette were in the industry and saw it. Why are you defending immoral Hollywood?
@@leonidfro8302Her book is excellent and worth reading. She's a great writer and unlike many other celebs who just want to cash in on a book, she actually has something to say. I didn't know who she was before either but that didn't matter
Perfect insight on the dichotomy of Hollywood and the young actress in how predators capitalize on young children being around, and thinking, like an adult. This mother, and her, are a true testament into how sick Hollywood is and the preventive measures that must be upheld by anyone protecting their young child's career as a rising star in Hollywood.
Another example of how parents make the difference whether it be positive or negative.
Strong involved parents are the foundation. Be a positive example to your children. Be their parents, not their friends.
People pleasers are always taken advantage of and targets. Then they think if they just please people more they won't be taken advantage of.
People-pleasers are living a phony life just the same, and they're perfectly happy to turn the tables when the opportunity presents, becoming just as bad as their supposed oppressors. Their real problem is that they reject out-of-hand the concept of the higher power of God.
No. I was a people pleaser. I knew I would be taken advantage of. That was the only way I knew to relate to people, so I didn't expect to be treated any better. At 50 I began to assert myself. At 8I am now free.

Anyone who’s an actor can attest that the film industry has no more morals than the adult film industry. Personally, I despise having to admit something is “systemic” but if you’re an actor going out for auditions, you’ve seen how easy it is for those above you to just utterly dehumanize you. Translate how they’re willing to treat full grown adults who are desperate to make it into how easy it would be for the sickos to take advantage of children and you realize literally none of this is hard to believe. It’s very easy to believe this stuff is widespread.
it is absolutely sickening what they do to children. everything from the actual illegal stuff to just pressuring and harassing them for speaking up for something as simple as they want to be paid more. im 24 and i grew up watching nick and Disney shows. after the dan schneider stuff was surfacing on youtube back in 2017-18, i for the most part have boycotted tv and movies.
The adult film industry has a lot of morals.
@British_Rogue
If that’s the case they are the lowest morals one can have. Don’t justify evil just because you’re caught by it
@@Mobius118 Allow me to rephrase. _Ahem._
Due to the type of industry it is, it is supposedly safer to work within the adult film industry than it is to work in the regular film industry. Purely because they constantly check in with talents, behind-the-scenes personnel, and management to see if they're okay, how they're feeling, how healthy they are, zero tolerance for abusive behaviours, etc..
Whereas children's TV and regular film industry is more of a _"everything's automatically safe so we don't have to bother checking anything, we'll just blindly trust the people in charge"_ type of attitude. An attitude which obviously leads to many problems.
@@British_RogueI agree. It’s also never been easier in the adult industry to avoid predation now with it being a free market. Lots of people still make wrong choices that put them at risk of harm though. That will likely never change
I was a child actor from the time I was 3 to 14. I was a successful working actor. I worked just about every day. I always thought when I turned 18 I would have some money saved up to buy a car or something. I had zero. My mom says since I worked for a union for 10 years I have retirement. Excuse me if I don’t trust anything she says. It really fuks with my head trying to figure out how to think and feel about it all. Of course I love my parents but I’m stuck in this feeling of needing to be “the bigger person” and never bring it up or ask questions. Don’t do this to your kids people. Talk about messing with someone’s head! I’m 43 now and I still wrestle with how to feel about it.
Brett is so lucky to have an emotionally mature mother. Mine was the exact opposite of that, she expected me to be super successful and used to make me sign up for a lot of extracurriculars when I was younger. She was insecure and she tried to live life through me, that’s why she was so controlling and a “perfectionist” when it came to my academic career.
My feelings did not matter to her at all, she was cold, demanding and mean. I was afraid of saying no to her bc she would throw a tantrum and play the victim afterwards. I used to live for her, not for myself. During college I had a breakdown and she blamed me and said horrible things. Which wasn’t really new for me tbh, I was used to her insults by then. But still, that day I made up my mind: I wasn’t going to tolerate more abuse from her.
I’ve gone no-contact with her and my simp of a father. I’m happier than ever.
Remember though forgiveness and understanding. They carry their traumas too. They didn't starve you , they tried to make you something they couldn't be. No matter what they love you but didn't communicate this. They demanded the impossible and stressed you out but I know they miss you.
Your story sounds like the book she referenced in the interview. I'm glad my mother died. Forgiveness is the gift you give yourself. You do not owe your abuser a relationship.

As a kid I loved acting and did dance and choir, and at one point when I was 10 I was able to convince my mom to take me a casting call. It turned out to be a scam to get kids to sign up for acting classes, but I remember the relief my mom expressed to me when she said we couldn’t afford to do the classes. I was heartbroken of course, and didn’t understand. But looking back, I realize she did not want me in that industry and I’m glad she had the awareness, in case it did turn out to be legitimate.

As much as Psychologists/Therapists are praised as healers, Dr.Peterson does a great job of showing how direct and bold a psychologist SHOULD be. Leaning into those uncomfortable questions and raising opportunities for accountability even in circumstances where it would be considered socially taboo to even imply one can be held to account (e.g a child creating boundaries and passing "testy" behaviors).
Brilliant. Again, pretty uncomfortable stuff, but that's where the growth and expansion happens. And it seems to me like he's always willing to go there.
Perhaps this is a consequence of his conversations being publicly available and being with people who are there to have an interesting conversation.
I would imagine him to be significantly less direct and bold in 1-on-1 personal scenarios with clients.
Yeah it's pretty important to teach children social etiquette. It's not only important on how you should be conducting yourself and treat others, it also sets a mental guideline/barrier on what's appropriate when others interact with you and helps a little with noticing subtle inappropriate behaviours. Luke 6:31 came to mind, not the same, but in the same train of thought.
JP kept cutting her off and I wonder why.

The worst part about this is that I'm not surprised. I should be, but somehow I expected it to happen in places like hollywood. It's so rotten to the core that it's no longer a secret that it's so full of depravity.
Has been from its inception.
So, that's like a hundred years of abuse and manipulation?
I'm really surprised that anyone is surprised. It's like go to strip show and get surprised to see naked people. "oh, it's so rotten" - no, it's not rotten, it's how movies are made. Do you complain about meat coming from slaughterhouse?
@@leonidfro8302 I really wouldn't call hollywood as strip show. It is akin to strip show today, that much is true, but in it's essence, it's supposed to be an art workshop.
And that's what makes it sad. It have degenerated into something it shouldn't be. An art workshop turned into a strip show.
@@kueapel911 >> it's supposed to be an art workshop
But it is! You seems to be under impression that "art" is something produced by christian moralists. It is not and never was. "oh my god, i've got indecent proposal, i'm traumatized for a life". Yea, right.
@@leonidfro8302 art is something we reflect upon. Stories, pictures, the fruit of imagination. Not to be mistaken as depravity of thought.
Even religious books are the result of artistic minds telling us stories filtered through generations of excellent scribes and councils.
Evil have no right to claim art as their fruit of labor. Remember tolkien's quote? Art is creation, not corruption.
I do hope that you, Jordan Peterson, are aware how much love and sanity you spread in this world. Thank you!
This young woman is very articulate, bright and self aware. She’s definitely one that should continue bringing more awareness of this industry and societal problem. Good mentor.
Saw Jordan the other day in Charlotte on his current tour. He is exactly like his videos on stage and in person. Crazy seeing him in person after watching his stuff for 6 years.
Went to see him with my ex-girlfriend few years ago, I bursted in tears few times when Jordans points connected. I loved the talk, my then girlfriend on the other hand said "I don't understand why you so impressed he just talks a bit of common sense, I know all he is saying."
I was baffled my the arrogance, but I keept it to myself.
Years later, I am getting my life in order to start a family, super lucky to have found myself a wonderful wife and friends...
My ex is probably still "searching for herself".
Jordan seems like holding himself lately, like he tried to be very careful of what he said. Did he actually go to DEI college (or something) like he was mandated to?
@@sultanofswingdrift3021 Truthfully, a lot of what Jordan Peterson says *IS* common sense. That’s no slight, G.K. Chesterton was “the apostle of common sense.” As they say, common sense isn’t so common.
So cool you got to meet him. He looks on point and healthy in this video.
@@kamalaparkerballs He's been vague about it, and part of his "holding" of himself probably has to do with the fact that the Dailywire is only letting him do interviews, and not lectures like he used to do. The DW has really screwed up itself the past few months, and needs to be disbanded.
I love Jordan. He made it to my wedding yesterday. My sister mentioned him in her maid of honor speech because he’s helped me that much! I figure the only possible or likely chance I have to be on his podcast is if I have the highest viewership of any fan!
The biggest factor in real life self defence is situational awareness. By the time it gets physical you are at a big disadvantage no matter who you are.

The word that is translated as ‘wise’ here is “phronimos” in Koine Greek (from “phren”, ‘the mind’; via “phroneo”, ‘to think’, lit. using the mind). The main connotation is specifically about maintaining an active state of mindfulness/prudence; other English versions render the word as ‘shrewd’, ‘prudent’, ‘smart’, ‘watchful/observant’, ‘clever’, ‘cunning’, ‘wary’, ‘cautious’, or ‘intelligent’.
@@OzPiggy87 right. I repeated that part because it's important. Christians should be benevolent, yes, but not blind. Watchfulness is important as well.
That's why they made a movie called "Dances With Wolves" showing the one who does this as the "good" guy and the one who is against his joining the natives is the "bad" one.
Yep thank you I have heard that many a time but I know the devil is the ruler of this world I mean stop and think about it he offered Jesus all the kingdoms of the world if he just bow down to him. He couldn't offer him that if he wasn't in charge
No, no good parent would put their child, boy or girl, in a predators hands and leave it up to the child to say no or defend themselves. Greed is evil. Money is greed. What a wonderful thing to hear on Mother's day. Peace
But when it's a boy and a grown woman, people care less
Uhm a good parent gives their child the tools to survive life and all its complexities.... only then you can say you properly protected your child.... just because you're a child doesn't mean you aren't capable
@@nekemli2622 Because boys enjoy it more and aren't on the receiving end like girls are, I as a 22 year old had fantasies as a kid about sleeping with teachers and adult women and would have loved it, just don't think it would be the same for girls
Your parents put you into school. You put your kids into school.
Read your first sentence all over again
🕋☪️🏳️🌈
It's "the love of money " that's evil.
How much do you desire it, and how far will you go to get it?
I was taken in by a family friend when I was 6 months old. I had a younger sister that was my best friend all our lives. She passed away at 32 suddenly. She had three kids, three different dads. One dad stepped up n took his daughter (she’s 18 now) and now her two sons have no one. Both have no idea who their fathers are. Their grandma took care of them until she passed away from a brain tumor last Feb.
I don’t know what to do. They’ve lived in horrible conditions, ran the streets of our small town, no discipline, no structure. I wanna help them, but I’m not financially capable to help them. These boys are now 15 and 12. It’s hard out here for people in poverty and uneducated.
Look for mentorship opportunities and any services you can find…if they don’t get it now they will more likely end up repeating the cycle!! Talk to them about goal & how to achieve them… good luck
So they must be in foster care now with you, as their aunt, able to be in contact with them. They'd likely benefit most from being placed with a married couple who've happily and successfully brought up their own children (so seen and handled the whole life cycle from baby to high school/beyond) and where the husband (foster dad) could provide good guidance and some firm behavior limits on them to help train them from running the streets to more normal and positive behavior.
And then you could be helpful showing sustained interest in them, like they matter and you care about what becomes of them as well as provide a link to their mom who they must miss terribly.
Perhaps you and your husband (if married) could apply to foster them or even adopt them. In the US at least, foster parents are assisted financially in providing for children they foster as the state recognizes there are financial costs to this, and the state often prefers familial fostering and adoptions when feasible. Your local children & family services type agency would be the place to start. Pray before, during, and after too. Condolences on the passing of your sister & ?mom. Best wishes.
Mr Peterson. You are precisely where you deserve to be, which also happens to be where you are needed most. In the ever increasing limelight providing an utterly irreplaceable & kind service to others. Soo refreshing & remarkable to see.
I am a big fan of Brett Cooper for maturity and young wisdom. Thanks Jordan, this made me cry.
speaking as a former actor that worked in the industry during the 2000 and for almost a decade, i would like to add that its not only magnetism and being captivating or entertaining what puts a lot of these ppl in the bulls eye sort of speaking. i think that it also has a lot to do with an actor’s ability to be vulnerable and open and in acting words “trusting “….. trust the moment, trust the director, trust your scene partner, trust your agent and this whole mentality of “ you are playing in the big leagues aka hollywood so you have to “ BE A PRO” and do the job or else someone else will, so if you start adding all those factors and in particular if the person is a young actor, then you can definitely see how easy is to take advantage of such people and omg the stories and lessons you learn and see and live, like i still cannot believe i went to some backyard alley auditions like the ones i went before and left ok like guuuuuuuuurl….. so yeah … hollywood truly mastered and perfected the path for the peoplr like harvey and roman and a lot the others to be able to do what they do in such an easy way. its so insane
@@ezze7540 have u ever heard of the Hollywood momagers ? They are a breed of their own , usually is a parent who is trying to live their dreams through their child and some ( not all, there’s a lot of good parents out there but the momagers do exist ) will do pretty much anything to get their kids and their dreams and bank accounts all the way up
Never thought about it that way. Very true
There is a Kick streamer that just caught a Hollywood writer on a date with a 15 year old girl. These people are sick.
RUclipsr* Bradley Martin caught him.
details?
Nah I don't agree entirely with that one. The guy spoke to a "23 year old" on a dating app and agreed to a meet up with a 23 year old. Upon meeting her she announce to him that she was 15. He didn't immediately leave, but he broke no law. What I find disturbing is that her father basically pimped his own 15 year old daughter on a dating app as a 23 year old, to "Shake down" respondents for a "pedo trap" video. A 15 year old should be doing her homework, not being used as bait for a "pedo trap show" run by her dad. When police do sting operations the underage child is a fabricated persona played by an adult.
@@tinkertailor7385 in the messages she said she was 14 or 15, I can’t remember. Watch the video again. The Hollywood pedo admits it.
Such an important conversation. Thank you.
As an adult, I learned that there aren’t bad kids but bad parents.
I think if a parent teaches their kids that they don’t matter by emotionally neglecting them, then the kids will grow up having a difficult time standing up for themselves. It has to do with if they think they matter or don’t. If you resonate that you don’t matter because your parents taught you that your whole life, you are viewed as a “people pleaser” and can easily be exploited by narcissists.
You said that So Well- and in only 3 sentences, one of which, though only 12 words long, said it all! This really rang true for my life and gave me something to really contemplate for the next few days, if not weeks or months, Thank you!
Thank you! I read a book “Running on Empty” that really explains childhood emotional neglect (CEN) well. CEN basically teaches you that you don’t matter, so it’s held as a core subconscious belief, until you consciously override your schema by telling yourself that you do matter and believing it! 😊 That’s the biggest step to overcoming CEN.
CEN can be more psychologically damaging than emotional abuse, because it happens under the radar, so you subconsciously blame yourself. With abuse, at least you know the perpetrator is in the wrong.
And I’ll add that with CEN, you are also more likely to be abused too.
Very well put.
Amen. That is the story of my life. Very good analysis.
So true.
I have an actor friend who was a child actor. He is 20 and his mom is still a hawk. Go mama!
Charlie Shane is he the 20 year old you speak of ?. 😀😀
@markvanderstelt8999 No, one of the kids off of the newer IT. Lol
Very interesting, very important. Only thing that annoyed me was that he often didn't let her finish her thoughts or get out her message. Otherwise, super relevant and great that they bring it up!
I was a PA on TV shows with children. One show in particular, The New Leave it to Beaver, had a minor girl in the cast, and because there were some creeps writing letters to her (one from prison, if I remember), there was an amount of protection for her. Because that this show was shot in Universal Studios Florida for the final season (it had been shot at Universal Studios Hollywood in California prior to that, where I think her family lived), she was given (or else she paid for) an apartment next to the studio - nearby to other minors on the show. I had to shuttle her to the studio sometimes, if one of the designated adult members of the crew wasn't available. (I was in my late 20's at the time.) Anyway the adults on the crew were protective of our minors to the extent that they could be. But every crew is different. I don't recall ever seeing her parents, although they probably came and went. Had I been a parent I would have literally been living in the apartment with her, but of course back then - prior to the internet being able to support remote work - parents could not do this if they needed to keep their full time job. So I can see how particular crews and handlers can take advantage of this.
Every time I hear Brett speaking I am amazed how mature she is , incredible .
She’s an actress and she reads off a script. She’s trained to do this. That’s why she’s the perfect poster girl for the “trad girl” for daily wire
This has been going on for centuries. The nobility used their children, toddlers through to teenagers, to secure power, wealth, and influence through marriage. The marriage part may have gone, but the exploitation is the same. Some parents treat their children as cattle!
In old times political alliances were done through marriage. Often the princesses were sent to the new country where they would rule while children, to get used to the customs and language before becoming rulers. They were betrothed and married at a later date, very often with many years in between. There was nothing sexual in all that. It has no comparison at all.
YES, but it’s not just Hollywood!! Look at all the predators they catch online trying to meet up with children!! Imagine all the ones that aren’t caught😖😖😖
Exactly. Any and every industry has bad people. It’s not good to generalize and make blanket statements.
I've never heard of this woman, but I could listen to these two talk forever. It is incredibly refreshing to hear intelligent conversation. I was hoping this was a full series instead of two videos.
She has her own show.

Dang, a sitdown between two of my favorites.
9:45 Brett Cooper talks enthusiastically of self-defense classes. I completely agree with her on their value. I did several years of martial arts when I was a teen. The biggest benefit I found was having your "fight or flight response" come to a default of FIGHT! Predators pick up on that, and predators are looking for prey, not a fight.
You do realize, that self defense classes are a joke right? A girl Brett's size is not going to do shit to a grown 160 200lbs man who is absolutely determined to hurt her. No matter how much trying she has.
I so love the strength Brett has and how she got out... Fullest respect for her.
And yet nothing is being done! It’s great that a few are speaking up but there’s been some who have spoken up for years.
Jennette McCurdy has actually spoken about reading and benefiting from 12 Rules For Life! i hope Jordan reads her book too and they meet someday :)
I heard her say she does the self-authoring program every year.
Knowing self-defense goes far beyond the physical capabilities - it’s a mindset, it’s walking through the world knowing your boundaries will not be crossed!
Right, and what exactly will you do when a monster of a person crosses those boundaries and the "self-defense" does nothing to save you?
@@skylandergames1337 People get murdered sometimes, haven’t you heard? Or are you just trying to have an argument about guns or something?
@healthyfreesoul I agree people do get murdered all the time, what I'm saying is when you tell someone that self defense will keep you safe in any dangerous situation, is very irresponsible on the trainers part. If a woman or man is going up against another man or woman who is physically stronger than them, or has more experience in fighting. The chances of you surviving is 50/50. Especially if that person has a weapon. Real life is not like the movies, nobody fights like that. In real life people fight dirty and with no mercy.
@@skylandergames1337 Knowing self defense is a mindset that deters many a fight, injury and death.
And as usual, life has no guarantees.
It's not just child actors. Its child models, singers, or anything to do with children. The most abused likely never became successful in any way and also are likely to have blackouts and repressed memories.
Worse. How many suicides and overdoses have been the result of the Hollywood meat grinder?
The most abused are the ones that get promoted the most by the industry. Dont sleep on it. Hollyweird is a big demonic pimpin industry and when you serve up, you receive. Look at the Diddy mess..Justing Bieber is who he is cause he sucked D...confirmed. So many people died before their time cause they were sacrificed either because they didnt play along or because their time was up. Fame has a price in Hollywood. Thats nothing crazy...thats real.
Yep. Look at womens gymnastics! Many of the victims were too traumatized to stay in gymnastics. Only some were successful.
One of the tricky things in life is what can we do if we have no power but the people who have power behave badly?
Jordan and Brett have the answer : explore the world but be smart and watch out for yourself.
Bonus points for sharing the stories publicly 🙂
As a dad I'm glad people like y'all exist ❤ God speed 🙏
An adult male that uses emojis? Maybe re-think that, fella.
@@clvrswine if you are also an adult male we can go to neutral ground and do the man dance 😘🐒
9:57 This should be acting classes, Hollywood's, agents, etcs, standards that ALL child actors should take self-defense, being aware of signs, any kind of course that will help the kids see abuse from all these adults.
They should have to have an advocate of some kind to be able to feel safe and go to tell about them about what they see, feel, and hear that is going on.
Brett Cooper was blessed to have her mom there with her. Teaching her morals and what ethics of adults' actions in such systems where children are around adults that they need to please to keep their dream of acting.
Thank you, Mr. Peterson and Mrs Brett Cooper.
Any random person could start such an organization. Hollywood doesn't have to be on board. After a while, you'd feel like a bad person if you didn't sign your kids up for it. Of course, then the child predators might become "women's self-defense teachers" so you always have to pay attention.
Glad to see JBP returning to that healthy and vibrant person he was before his health declined and he got lost in Serbia. Congrats. Be blessed JBP!

He got lost in Serbia? Is that a metaphor?

The synchronicities and parallels regarding my awareness of the subject do not go unnoticed here. My wife is textbook cluster B with extremely poor judgement, and has pushed for the monetization of my son ever since his birth. It really is an absolutely sick dynamic, but the majority of fault does go to those who have a “transactional,” possibly, “prostitutional,” view of their entire lives.
… and of COURSE, the predators who are only there for that reason.
